Maybe you made a stupid mistake - everyone makes mistakes. Or maybe you have been falsely accused of a criminal act. Whatever the reason, good people find themselves on the wrong end of the law all the time. Regardless of the circumstances, once the charge has been filed and the court date set, the best thing a defendant in the Bexar County court system can do is hire a knowledgeable and motivated attorney who (1) knows the courts and (2) is ready to do whatever it takes to win your case.
Knowing the Courts
It's sometimes said that "a good lawyer knows the law and a great lawyer knows the judge". This statement is not entirely accurate, however, the difference between an average Bexar County defense lawyer and a great one is often knowledge about how each of the local courts operate. Understanding and being able to exploit the nuances of each prosecutor, judge, and probation officer can deliver significant benefits including:
- Reduced fines and court costs
- Reduced probation time/avoidance of jail time
- Preventing driver's license suspensions
- Reductions or outright dismissals of charges
Attorney Mike Baird has been representing good people in the criminal courts of Bexar County since he was in law school. Since then few attorneys have spent as much time in the courts as he has.
Doing What it Takes
Knowing how to win a case in Bexar County means nothing unless that knowledge is put to work. A complete defense strategy, based on a complete understanding of the particular prosecutor, judge, and court involved in a case, is the only way to secure the very best possible outcome of a case. It is virtually NEVER advisable for a defendant to appear in court once and accept a DA's plea bargain offer - especially in the "worst" cases that may be the hardest to defend. Defending a criminal charge in Bexar County is a process that can take one to two years or longer to do the right way.
That's why one of the most important factors affecting the outcome of a case (and the consequences for the defendant) is how much the defense attorney dedicates to doing what's best for the client. Sadly, it seems the client's best interest, financial well being, and even his or her criminal record take back seat to doing what's easy, cheap, or what brings in the most attorney fees.
